Overdue Material:
Customers are responsible for all materials borrowed on their library cards. Overdue fees continue to accrue on certain materials until the material is returned or renewed. When the borrower’s account exceeds $10, borrowing privileges will be suspended until sufficient fees are paid to reduce the balance owed to less than $10. The library’s primary interest is in getting the material back to it can be available for other customers.
Overdue notices may be sent by email, phone notifications, or US mail. Email and telephone messages will be generated the 7th , 14th , and 28th day after the item becomes overdue. Notices are courtesies only. Final bills are sent 30 days after the item is
overdue and is considered lost.
The cost of materials that are lost or damaged will be charged to the borrower’s account. A $5.00 processing fee will also be added for each lost or damaged item. If materials are not returned or fees are not paid, the borrower’s account may be referred to a collection agency after 51 days of the item being overdue.
